Does Sony's 350 have compatability issues with any discs? I've been waiting for a reliable player that wouldn't give me any crap, can I count on this player or no?

Mr. Cinema

I've read it's having issues with Indy 4, same as my 550. The movie pauses around the 57 minute mark and skips ahead 2 minutes and resumes playing. Other than that, I haven't read anything negative. BTW, other than Indy, my 550 has been a rock solid unit. I'm very happy with it. Same goes for the new Panasonic 35 which I also just bought. Both are great.

Thanks for the quick reply. If it has issues with Indy, I think I'll just wait. I'm just shocked the PS3 is STILL the superior player on the market. I guess I'll continue to wait for Oppo.

Now that we have the 1.1/2.0 issue out of the way (again, I apologize), if the Samsung 1500 were to come out for $150 on Black Friday, which would be the better deal? Is the Sony 350 worth an extra $30? What if they were the same price? Which is the better player, or is either the better player?

Personally, for $150-$180, I'd rather get a Panasonic BD30. It is by far considered the most stable standalone player around, and Panasonic really stands behind it with firmware updates. BD-Live be damned.
